Convolutional Neural Networks¶
Project: Write an Algorithm for Landmark Classification¶
In this notebook, some template code has already been provided for you, and you will need to implement additional functionality to successfully complete this project. You will not need to modify the included code beyond what is requested. Sections that begin with '(IMPLEMENTATION)' in the header indicate that the following block of code will require additional functionality which you must provide. Instructions will be provided for each section, and the specifics of the implementation are marked in the code block with a 'TODO' statement. Please be sure to read the instructions carefully!
Note: Once you have completed all the code implementations, you need to finalize your work by exporting the Jupyter Notebook as an HTML document. Before exporting the notebook to HTML, all the code cells need to have been run so that reviewers can see the final implementation and output. You can then export the notebook by using the menu above and navigating to File -> Download as -> HTML (.html). Include the finished document along with this notebook as your submission.
In addition to implementing code, there will be questions that you must answer which relate to the project and your implementation. Each section where you will answer a question is preceded by a 'Question X' header. Carefully read each question and provide thorough answers in the following text boxes that begin with 'Answer:'. Your project submission will be evaluated based on your answers to each of the questions and the implementation you provide.
Note: Code and Markdown cells can be executed using the Shift + Enter keyboard shortcut. Markdown cells can be edited by double-clicking the cell to enter edit mode.
The rubric contains optional "Stand Out Suggestions" for enhancing the project beyond the minimum requirements. If you decide to pursue the "Stand Out Suggestions", you should include the code in this Jupyter notebook.
Why We're Here¶
Photo sharing and photo storage services like to have location data for each photo that is uploaded. With the location data, these services can build advanced features, such as automatic suggestion of relevant tags or automatic photo organization, which help provide a compelling user experience. Although a photo's location can often be obtained by looking at the photo's metadata, many photos uploaded to these services will not have location metadata available. This can happen when, for example, the camera capturing the picture does not have GPS or if a photo's metadata is scrubbed due to privacy concerns.
If no location metadata for an image is available, one way to infer the location is to detect and classify a discernable landmark in the image. Given the large number of landmarks across the world and the immense volume of images that are uploaded to photo sharing services, using human judgement to classify these landmarks would not be feasible.
In this notebook, you will take the first steps towards addressing this problem by building models to automatically predict the location of the image based on any landmarks depicted in the image. At the end of this project, your code will accept any user-supplied image as input and suggest the top k most relevant landmarks from 50 possible landmarks from across the world. The image below displays a potential sample output of your finished project.
The Road Ahead¶
We break the notebook into separate steps. Feel free to use the links below to navigate the notebook.
- Step 0: Download Datasets and Install Python Modules
- Step 1: Create a CNN to Classify Landmarks (from Scratch)
- Step 2: Create a CNN to Classify Landmarks (using Transfer Learning)
- Step 3: Write Your Landmark Prediction Algorithm
Step 0: Download Datasets and Install Python Modules¶
Note: if you are using the Udacity workspace, YOU CAN SKIP THIS STEP. The dataset can be found in the /data folder and all required Python modules have been installed in the workspace.
Download the landmark dataset.
Unzip the folder and place it in this project's home directory, at the location /landmark_images.
Install the following Python modules:
- cv2
- matplotlib
- numpy
- PIL
- torch
- torchvision
Step 1: Create a CNN to Classify Landmarks (from Scratch)¶
In this step, you will create a CNN that classifies landmarks. You must create your CNN from scratch (so, you can't use transfer learning yet!), and you must attain a test accuracy of at least 20%.
Although 20% may seem low at first glance, it seems more reasonable after realizing how difficult of a problem this is. Many times, an image that is taken at a landmark captures a fairly mundane image of an animal or plant, like in the following picture.
Just by looking at that image alone, would you have been able to guess that it was taken at the Haleakalā National Park in Hawaii?
An accuracy of 20% is significantly better than random guessing, which would provide an accuracy of just 2%. In Step 2 of this notebook, you will have the opportunity to greatly improve accuracy by using transfer learning to create a CNN.
Remember that practice is far ahead of theory in deep learning. Experiment with many different architectures, and trust your intuition. And, of course, have fun!
(IMPLEMENTATION) Specify Data Loaders for the Landmark Dataset¶
Use the code cell below to create three separate data loaders: one for training data, one for validation data, and one for test data. Randomly split the images located at landmark_images/train to create the train and validation data loaders, and use the images located at landmark_images/test to create the test data loader.
Note: Remember that the dataset can be found at /data/landmark_images/ in the workspace.
All three of your data loaders should be accessible via a dictionary named loaders_scratch. Your train data loader should be at loaders_scratch['train'], your validation data loader should be at loaders_scratch['valid'], and your test data loader should be at loaders_scratch['test'].
You may find this documentation on custom datasets to be a useful resource. If you are interested in augmenting your training and/or validation data, check out the wide variety of transforms!
from torchvision import datasets , transforms
import torch
from torch.utils.data.sampler import SubsetRandomSampler
import numpy as np
### TODO: Write data loaders for training, validation, and test sets
## Specify appropriate transforms, and batch_sizes
num_workers = 0
batch_size = 32
valid_size = .2
mean=np.array([0.5,0.5,0.5])
std=np.array([0.5,0.5,0.5])
data_dir = '/data/landmark_images/train'
test_data_dir = '/data/landmark_images/test'
transform = transforms.Compose([transforms.RandomRotation(30),
transforms.RandomResizedCrop(224),
transforms.RandomHorizontalFlip(),
transforms.ToTensor(),
transforms.Normalize(mean,std)])
test_transform = transforms.Compose([transforms.Resize(256),
transforms.CenterCrop(224),
transforms.ToTensor(),
transforms.Normalize(mean,std)])
# define training and test data
train_data = datasets.ImageFolder(data_dir , transform = transform )
test_data = datasets.ImageFolder(test_data_dir , transform = test_transform )
# split the train data into train and validation
num_train = len(train_data)
indices = list(range(num_train))
np.random.shuffle(indices)
split = int(np.floor(valid_size * num_train))
train_set , valid_set = indices[split:],indices[:split]
train_sampler = SubsetRandomSampler(train_set)
valid_sampler = SubsetRandomSampler(valid_set)
#define the data loaders
train_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(train_data , batch_size = batch_size , sampler = train_sampler , num_workers = num_workers)
validation_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(train_data , batch_size = batch_size , sampler = valid_sampler , num_workers = num_workers)
test_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(test_data , batch_size = batch_size , num_workers = num_workers)
loaders_scratch = {'train': train_loader, 'valid': validation_loader , 'test':test_loader }
Question 1: Describe your chosen procedure for preprocessing the data.
- How does your code resize the images (by cropping, stretching, etc)? What size did you pick for the input tensor, and why?
- Did you decide to augment the dataset? If so, how (through translations, flips, rotations, etc)? If not, why not?
Answer: 1- it resized the images by using resize and centercrop to to get the best size, and i choose my size to be 256x256 but after crop it will be 224x224,
2- yes, i did by using RandomHorizontalFlip
(IMPLEMENTATION) Visualize a Batch of Training Data¶
Use the code cell below to retrieve a batch of images from your train data loader, display at least 5 images simultaneously, and label each displayed image with its class name (e.g., "Golden Gate Bridge").
Visualizing the output of your data loader is a great way to ensure that your data loading and preprocessing are working as expected.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
## TODO: visualize a batch of the train data loader
classes = train_data.classes
def imshow(img):
img = img / 2 + 0.5
plt.imshow(np.transpose(img, (1, 2, 0)))
images, labels = next(iter(train_loader))
images = images.numpy()
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(30, 30))
for idx, image in enumerate(images):
ax = fig.add_subplot(4, 8, idx+1, xticks=[], yticks=[])
imshow(images[idx])
ax.set_title(classes[labels[idx]],wrap=True)
Initialize use_cuda variable¶
print(len(classes))
# useful variable that tells us whether we should use the GPU
use_cuda = torch.cuda.is_available()
(IMPLEMENTATION) Specify Loss Function and Optimizer¶
Use the next code cell to specify a loss function and optimizer. Save the chosen loss function as criterion_scratch, and fill in the function get_optimizer_scratch below.
from torch import nn
## TODO: select loss function
criterion_scratch = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()
def get_optimizer_scratch(model):
## TODO: select and return an optimizer
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(model.parameters(), lr = 0.001)
return optimizer
(IMPLEMENTATION) Model Architecture¶
Create a CNN to classify images of landmarks. Use the template in the code cell below.
import torch.nn as nn
import torch.nn.functional as F
# define the CNN architecture
class Net(nn.Module):
## TODO: choose an architecture, and complete the class
def __init__(self):
super(Net, self).__init__()
## Define layers of a CNN
#defining the convolutional layers
self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(3, 16 , 3, padding=1)
self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(16, 32 , 3, padding=1)
self.conv3 = nn.Conv2d(32, 64 , 3, padding=1)
#defining the maxpoolling layer
self.pool = nn.MaxPool2d(2, 2)
self.fc1 = nn.Linear(64*28*28,512)
self.fc2 = nn.Linear(512,256)
self.fc3 = nn.Linear(256,50)
self.dropout = nn.Dropout(0.4)
def forward(self, x):
## Define forward behavior
x = self.pool(F.relu(self.conv1(x)))
x = self.pool(F.relu(self.conv2(x)))
x = self.pool(F.relu(self.conv3(x)))
x = x.view(-1,64*28*28)
x = self.dropout(x)
x = F.relu(self.fc1(x))
x = self.dropout(x)
x = F.relu(self.fc2(x))
x = self.dropout(x)
x = self.fc3(x)
return x

model_scratch = Net()
# move tensors to GPU if CUDA is available
if use_cuda:
model_scratch.cuda()
Question 2: Outline the steps you took to get to your final CNN architecture and your reasoning at each step.
Answer:
1 - first i started by initializing the convolutional layers : first conv layer was 3 in depth ,output 16 , kernel size of 3x3 and padding 1. and the second conv layer was 16 in depth, 32 output , kernel size of 3x3 and padding 1. and my last conv layer was 32 in depth and output 64 with kernel size of 3x3 and padding 1.
2 - second i initialized the pooling layer and a choose a maxpooling layer because its better in image classification and its kernel size is 2x2 and stride 2.
3 - third i initialized the fully connected layers : first layer inputs are 64x28x28 and output to 512 and second takes the output of the pervious fc as an input and its output is 256 and the last takes the output of the pervious fc as an input and the out put the number of the classes we have which is 50.
4 - last i initialized dropout layer to avoid overfitting.
that was the architecture of the CNN lets reason it first my CNN will take input of size 224x224 and depth of 3 and the out of it will be 224x224 and depth 16 and then applying maxpooling layer the size will be 112x112 the the second conv layer will take 112x112 with depth 16 and out 112x112 with depth 32 then applying the maxpooling the size will be 56x56 then the last conv layer will take input 56x56 with depth 32 and then the output will be 56x56 with depth 64 after applying the last pooling layer the size will be 28x28 with depth 64 thats why i started my fc with that number leading to the number of my classes 50 through th fcs.
(IMPLEMENTATION) Implement the Training Algorithm¶
Implement your training algorithm in the code cell below. Save the final model parameters at the filepath stored in the variable save_path.
def train(n_epochs, loaders, model, optimizer, criterion, use_cuda, save_path):
"""returns trained model"""
# initialize tracker for minimum validation loss

if valid_loss <= valid_loss_min:
print('Validation decreased from ({:.6f} to {:.6f}) Saving the model.'.format(valid_loss_min,valid_loss))
torch.save(model.state_dict(), save_path )
valid_loss_min = valid_loss
return model
(IMPLEMENTATION) Experiment with the Weight Initialization¶
Use the code cell below to define a custom weight initialization, and then train with your weight initialization for a few epochs. Make sure that neither the training loss nor validation loss is nan.
Later on, you will be able to see how this compares to training with PyTorch's default weight initialization.
def custom_weight_init(m):
## TODO: implement a weight initialization strategy
classname = m.__class__.__name__
if classname.find('Linear') != -1:
n = m.in_features
y = 1/(np.sqrt(n))
m.weight.data.normal_(0,y)
m.bias.data.fill_(0)
#-#-# Do NOT modify the code below this line. #-#-#
model_scratch.apply(custom_weight_init)
model_scratch = train(20, loaders_scratch, model_scratch, get_optimizer_scratch(model_scratch),
criterion_scratch, use_cuda, 'ignore.pt')
(IMPLEMENTATION) Train and Validate the Model¶
Run the next code cell to train your model.
## TODO: you may change the number of epochs if you'd like,
## but changing it is not required
num_epochs = 30
#-#-# Do NOT modify the code below this line. #-#-#
# function to re-initialize a model with pytorch's default weight initialization
def default_weight_init(m):
reset_parameters = getattr(m, 'reset_parameters', None)
if callable(reset_parameters):
m.reset_parameters()
# reset the model parameters
model_scratch.apply(default_weight_init)
# train the model
model_scratch = train(num_epochs, loaders_scratch, model_scratch, get_optimizer_scratch(model_scratch),
criterion_scratch, use_cuda, 'model_scratch.pt')
(IMPLEMENTATION) Test the Model¶
Run the code cell below to try out your model on the test dataset of landmark images. Run the code cell below to calculate and print the test loss and accuracy. Ensure that your test accuracy is greater than 20%.
def test(loaders, model, criterion, use_cuda):
# monitor test loss and accuracy
test_loss = 0.
correct = 0.
total = 0.
# set the module to evaluation mode
model.eval()
for batch_idx, (data, target) in enumerate(loaders['test']):
# move to GPU
if use_cuda:
data, target = data.cuda(), target.cuda()
# forward pass: compute predicted outputs by passing inputs to the model
output = model(data)
# calculate the loss
loss = criterion(output, target)
# update average test loss
test_loss = test_loss + ((1 / (batch_idx + 1)) * (loss.data.item() - test_loss))
# convert output probabilities to predicted class
pred = output.data.max(1, keepdim=True)[1]
# compare predictions to true label
correct += np.sum(np.squeeze(pred.eq(target.data.view_as(pred))).cpu().numpy())
total += data.size(0)
print('Test Loss: {:.6f}\n'.format(test_loss))
print('\nTest Accuracy: %2d%% (%2d/%2d)' % (
100. * correct / total, correct, total))
# load the model that got the best validation accuracy
model_scratch.load_state_dict(torch.load('model_scratch.pt'))
test(loaders_scratch, model_scratch, criterion_scratch, use_cuda)
Step 2: Create a CNN to Classify Landmarks (using Transfer Learning)¶
You will now use transfer learning to create a CNN that can identify landmarks from images. Your CNN must attain at least 60% accuracy on the test set.
(IMPLEMENTATION) Specify Data Loaders for the Landmark Dataset¶
Use the code cell below to create three separate data loaders: one for training data, one for validation data, and one for test data. Randomly split the images located at landmark_images/train to create the train and validation data loaders, and use the images located at landmark_images/test to create the test data loader.
All three of your data loaders should be accessible via a dictionary named loaders_transfer. Your train data loader should be at loaders_transfer['train'], your validation data loader should be at loaders_transfer['valid'], and your test data loader should be at loaders_transfer['test'].
If you like, you are welcome to use the same data loaders from the previous step, when you created a CNN from scratch.
### TODO: Write data loaders for training, validation, and test sets
## Specify appropriate transforms, and batch_sizes
loaders_transfer = {'train': train_loader , 'valid': validation_loader , 'test': test_loader }
(IMPLEMENTATION) Specify Loss Function and Optimizer¶
Use the next code cell to specify a loss function and optimizer. Save the chosen loss function as criterion_transfer, and fill in the function get_optimizer_transfer below.
## TODO: select loss function
criterion_transfer = nn.NLLLoss()
def get_optimizer_transfer(model):
## TODO: select and return optimizer
optimizer = torch.optim.Adam(model.fc.parameters(), lr = 0.001 )
return optimizer
(IMPLEMENTATION) Model Architecture¶
Use transfer learning to create a CNN to classify images of landmarks. Use the code cell below, and save your initialized model as the variable model_transfer.
from torchvision import models
## TODO: Specify model architecture
dir(models)
model_transfer = models.resnet50(pretrained = True )
for param in model_transfer.parameters():
param.requires_grad = False
model_transfer.fc = nn.Sequential(nn.Linear(2048,512),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.Dropout(0.5),
nn.Linear(512,50),
nn.LogSoftmax(dim=1))
print(model_transfer)
#-#-# Do NOT modify the code below this line. #-#-#
if use_cuda:
model_transfer = model_transfer.cuda()
Question 3: Outline the steps you took to get to your final CNN architecture and your reasoning at each step. Describe why you think the architecture is suitable for the current problem.
Answer:
1 - first step i searched for the best pretrained image classifier model and found some good models but i chose resnet-50 because its size is small and its accuracy is quite high so i used it.
2 - applied it and freezed its parameters then changed its fc to be good for my project so it has 50 output due to our 50 class.
3 - i think its sutiable because this is the best model for image classification with some adds from me it will be perfect for our problem.
(IMPLEMENTATION) Train and Validate the Model¶
Train and validate your model in the code cell below. Save the final model parameters at filepath 'model_transfer.pt'.
# TODO: train the model and save the best model parameters at filepath 'model_transfer.pt'
train(20, loaders_transfer, model_transfer, get_optimizer_transfer(model_transfer),
criterion_transfer, use_cuda, 'model_transfer.pt')
#-#-# Do NOT modify the code below this line. #-#-#
# load the model that got the best validation accuracy
model_transfer.load_state_dict(torch.load('model_transfer.pt'))
(IMPLEMENTATION) Test the Model¶
Try out your model on the test dataset of landmark images. Use the code cell below to calculate and print the test loss and accuracy. Ensure that your test accuracy is greater than 60%.
def test(loaders, model, criterion, use_cuda):
# monitor test loss and accuracy
test_loss = 0.
correct = 0.
total = 0.
# set the module to evaluation mode
model.eval()
for batch_idx, (data, target) in enumerate(loaders['test']):
# move to GPU
if use_cuda:
data, target = data.cuda(), target.cuda()
# forward pass: compute predicted outputs by passing inputs to the model
output = model(data)
# calculate the loss
loss = criterion(output, target)
# update average test loss
test_loss = test_loss + ((1 / (batch_idx + 1)) * (loss.data.item() - test_loss))
# convert output probabilities to predicted class
pred = output.data.max(1, keepdim=True)[1]
# compare predictions to true label
correct += np.sum(np.squeeze(pred.eq(target.data.view_as(pred))).cpu().numpy())

# load the model that got the best validation accuracy
model_transfer.load_state_dict(torch.load('model_transfer.pt'))
test(loaders_transfer, model_transfer, criterion_transfer, use_cuda)
Step 3: Write Your Landmark Prediction Algorithm¶
Great job creating your CNN models! Now that you have put in all the hard work of creating accurate classifiers, let's define some functions to make it easy for others to use your classifiers.
(IMPLEMENTATION) Write Your Algorithm, Part 1¶
Implement the function predict_landmarks, which accepts a file path to an image and an integer k, and then predicts the top k most likely landmarks. You are required to use your transfer learned CNN from Step 2 to predict the landmarks.
An example of the expected behavior of predict_landmarks:
>>> predicted_landmarks = predict_landmarks('example_image.jpg', 3)
>>> print(predicted_landmarks)
['Golden Gate Bridge', 'Brooklyn Bridge', 'Sydney Harbour Bridge']import cv2
from PIL import Image
## the class names can be accessed at the `classes` attribute
## of your dataset object (e.g., `train_dataset.classes`)
def predict_landmarks(img_path, k):
## TODO: return the names of the top k landmarks predicted by the transfer learned CNN
img = Image.open(img_path).convert('RGB')
transform = transforms.Compose([transforms.Resize(224),
transforms.CenterCrop(224),
transforms.ToTensor(),
transforms.Normalize([0.5,0.5,0.5],
[0.5,0.5,0.5])])
imgT = transform(img)
imageB = torch.unsqueeze(imgT,0)
model_transfer.eval()
if use_cuda:
imageB = imageB.cuda()
with torch.no_grad():
output = model_transfer(imageB)
_, index = torch.topk(output.squeeze(0),k)
classes_M = [x[3:].replace('_',' ') for x in classes]
return [classes_M[i] for i in index]
# test on a sample image
predict_landmarks('images/test/16.Eiffel_Tower/3828627c8730f160.jpg', 5)
(IMPLEMENTATION) Write Your Algorithm, Part 2¶
In the code cell below, implement the function suggest_locations, which accepts a file path to an image as input, and then displays the image and the top 3 most likely landmarks as predicted by predict_landmarks.
Some sample output for suggest_locations is provided below, but feel free to design your own user experience!
def suggest_locations(img_path):
# get landmark predictions
predicted_landmarks = predict_landmarks(img_path, 3)
## TODO: display image and display landmark predictions
img = Image.open(img_path)
plt.imshow(img)
plt.show()
print ('Is this picture of the... "{}", "{}", or "{}"'.format(predicted_landmarks[0], predicted_landmarks[1], predicted_landmarks[2]))
# test on a sample image
suggest_locations('images/test/09.Golden_Gate_Bridge/190f3bae17c32c37.jpg')
(IMPLEMENTATION) Test Your Algorithm¶
Test your algorithm by running the suggest_locations function on at least four images on your computer. Feel free to use any images you like.
Question 4: Is the output better than you expected :) ? Or worse :( ? Provide at least three possible points of improvement for your algorithm.
Answer: it was good not better or worse but needed more improvments (Three possible points for improvement) 1 - more data so it get better data such as classes and more data in each class so when the model train on different view of the landmark when he sees it with any angle it will be esasy to predict correct.
2- the model used must be more accuracy instead of 74 i think it should be 80 at least.
3 - transforms also play a big role so different transforms applies on the image will help to predict easily
## TODO: Execute the `suggest_locations` function on
## at least 4 images on your computer.
## Feel free to use as many code cells as needed.
suggest_locations('test_images/effil')
suggest_locations('test_images/pyramids.jpg')
suggest_locations('test_images/pic1')
suggest_locations('test_images/pic2')
suggest_locations('test_images/landmark')
suggest_locations('test_images/niagara_falls.jfif')
suggest_locations('test_images/death.jfif')
suggest_locations('test_images/great-barrier-reef-file.jpg')
